First article approved! PLI is committed to providing high-quality parts that meet and exceed OEM specifications. Our engineering team has been working on reverse engineering and manufacturing the ALCM Engine Inlet Seal. Designed decades ago, the seal was subject to several obsolescence and DMSMS challenges, making it impossible to manufacture to OEM specifications.

This holiday season, we’d like to thank all of our customers for their dedication and commitment in working towards the greater good for our fellow Americans and protecting the freedoms of people across the world who cannot.

PLI has been recognized by the Defense Logistics Agency and the U.S. Air Force’s nuclear modernization for reverse engineering and manufacturing obsolete components for the Air Launch Cruise Missile used on the B-52.  Previously unavailable, the Elevon Barrel Seal required source approval to manufacture the obsolete component.
